As Dark Nights: Death Metal exposes our heroes to the Multiverse’s darkest threats and DC’s Future State event provides a glimpse into possible futures of the DC Universe, this blockbuster one-shot propels our heroes into the current day and a world full of endless possibilities. “Infinite Frontier #0 really feels like the beginning of a new era of DC Comics, a time when anything is possible,” said writer Joshua Williamson. “We’re taking the aftermath of Dark Nights: Death Metal and combining it with the best things we love as storytellers about the DC Universe, resulting in bold, fun, and exciting new directions. There are a lot of teases to new story lines, surprises, and mysteries for the year set up in Infinite Frontier #0 that you won’t want to miss.” Featuring a dynamic primary cover by Dan Jurgens and Mikel Janín and an equally breathtaking card stock variant cover by John Timms, these stories will be delivered by some of the best talent in comics, including (among others):

Priced at $5.99 for the main cover version and $6.99 for the card stock variant, this book will be available at all comic book stores and participating digital retailers on Tuesday, March 2, 2021.   HAMILTON, MT -- Unlikely Heroes Studios has been busy lately. After the back-to-back digital release of The Surgeon #3 and The Unthinkables #1, the indie publisher also released a surprise title by Surgeon writer, John Pence, co-written his young son Will. Hot Brass, Pharaoh’s Gold started with then-ten-year-old Will asking the important question that all parents face sooner or later: Who would win in a fight between cowboys and mummies? Immediately, the father-son team set out to find the answer. Hot Brass starts with a train robbery, wakes up a bunch of mummies, and calls in the sheriff to sort it all out over the course of 32 pages of wild fun. Art duties for this book are handled by veteran comics artist Joe Koziarski, who started his career working on Speed Racer in the ‘90s and worked with Pence on The Ballad of Brighid of Atlanta in 2015. “This book has been nothing but fun from the get-go,” Pence says, “I loved introducing my son to the process, and I loved his input. Honestly, a lot of the best visual gags are his. He’s a natural. And I knew I could count on Joe to capture the innocence, fun, and wackiness of this world.” “I wanted to make something that was explicitly written for kids,” Pence continues, “because The Surgeon definitely is not. This book does have some alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, but it’s nothing you wouldn’t have seen on a kids’ show in the ‘50s.” “I was just minding my own business one Tuesday afternoon,” says Laurie Foster, publisher and editor of Unlikely Heroes, “and out of the blue, John’s like, ‘Hey, you know that cowboys n’ mummies thing I’ve been fooling with on and off? It’s done.” “I was plenty busy with Unthinkables and The Surgeon, but if one of your creators comes to you with a complete, funny book that’s going to engage new comics readers, what are you gonna do?” Hot Brass, Pharaoh’s Gold is currently available in electronic format from the publisher and all major online comics retailers.

The New York Times bestselling Injustice and Suicide Squad team of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo take on Nightwing!  Nightwing, with Batgirl by his side, returns to Blüdhaven in March 2021 when Nightwing #78, by new New York Times-bestselling creative team Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo, hits comic book shelves! Dick Grayson is back after DC’s Future State event—and his drive to keep Blüdhaven safe has never been stronger! “Despite, awkwardly, killing him twice (in Injustice and DCeased),” said Taylor, “I'm a huge Nightwing fan. And I couldn't be more excited to take on a hero I’ve always considered a DC A-lister. Our series is about showing that. It’s about putting Dick Grayson back on that pedestal where he belongs.” Interior art from Nightwing #78 by Bruno Redondo and Adriano Lucas
“It’s also about taking everything Bruno and I love about Nightwing and testing him in a completely new way,” continued Taylor. “Exploring how Dick reacts when faced with impossible odds, and with a life-changing opportunity which comes his way in our very first issue.” In Taylor and Redondo’s Nightwing run, Blüdhaven has elected a new mayor with the last name Zucco, which can’t be good for DC’s first sidekick and former Robin—but is it good for Blüdhaven? When Nightwing enlists Batgirl’s help in investigating the politician bearing the same name as the man who murdered his parents, she unearths details that will shock and fundamentally change the hero. “I’m not holding anything back from this project,” said Redondo. “Nightwing means kinetic potential, evolution, and a positive assertiveness more than any other character I’ve worked on...and that’s the kind of hero we all need right now. Working with Tom on Nightwing is the perfect evolution for us as a team! We have incredible ideas for Dick Grayson’s new adventures.” And appearing in the first issue of Taylor and Redondo’s new Nightwing comic is a potential new sidekick for Dick Grayson—a three-legged puppy that he shields from harm in Blüdhaven’s alleys! Will Nightwing adopt this nameless mutt? And will she warm fan’s hearts as fast as Nightwing kicks her tormentor’s butts? Meet her for the first time on March 16 in Nightwing #78! Will she stay? If so, what will Dick Grayson name this beleaguered three-legged dog? “This is the perfect time for a Nightwing story,” concluded Taylor. “It’s the right time for a charming, entertaining, positive force for good standing with the underrepresented, and pushing back against corruption and greed.” Nightwing #78, written by Tom Taylor (DCeased, Injustice) with art and cover by Bruno Redondo (Injustice, Suicide Squad), color by Adriano Lucas, lettering by Wes Abbott, edited by Jessica Chrn, featuring a variant cover by Skan, takes Nightwing to the next stage of his evolution as a hero!

A New ‘Flash’ Team of Writer Jeremy Adams and Artist Brandon Peterson Debuts in March 2021!12/17/2020  Redemption for Wally West begins in The Flash #768—when the former Kid Flash decides to call it quits!?
Following the two issue Future State: The Flash in January and February, the redemption of Wally West begins! Beginning March 16, writer Jeremy Adams (Supernatural, Justice League Action, DC Future State’s Black Adam and Black Racer) and artist Brandon Peterson (Future State: The Flash, Superman, Shazam!, Avengers, Amazing Spider-Man) race with DC’s Scarlet Speedsters in a new run for The Flash! Beginning with The Flash #768, after the events spanning from DC Universe: Rebirth to Heroes in Crisis to Dark Nights: Death Metal, the former Kid Flash decides to call it quits: family is more important to Wally West than a connection to the Speed Force. If you love the Flash, and want to hit the ground running for the redemption arc of DC’s favorite speedster, The Flash #768 is the perfect jumping-on point! “There's some dispute about who would win in a race against Wally and Barry,” said Adams, “but let's just say it's a question that starts this new adventure. I've tried to pour all of my excess enthusiasm into writing a story that explores some of the crazy sci-fi elements that Flash books are known for. So, race to the store and pick one up... or two... or three...” In the months following DC’s Future State event, Barry will need his former partner more than ever. Will Barry let Wally walk away? Barry Allen and Wally West must confront the past by way of a Justice League led by Green Arrow. Ollie’s the one person Wally hasn’t talked to since Roy’s death, so pick up The Flash starting in March 2021 and see the Flash Family decide who will carry the Scarlet Speedster legacy towards the future! Will it be Barry? Or Wally? The Flash #768, written by Jeremy Adams with art and cover by Brandon Peterson, featuring a variant cover by Ian MacDonald, hits shelves on March 16.

Action Comics #1029 variant cover by Julian Totino Tedesco DC’s Action Comics and Superman Have New Creative Teams! Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Artist Phil Hester Team Up for the Two-Part Tale “The Golden Age” in March 2021! Plus, the Backup Series “Tales of Metropolis” Begins! Writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (The Last God, Future State: Superman: Worlds of War) flies from DC’s Future State event in January and February back to the present DCU in March to join artists Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur for a two-part story that spans both Superman and Action Comics! “I can’t begin to describe what an honor it is to be writing Superman and Action Comics,” said Johnson, “especially following one of my industry heroes, Brian Michael Bendis. One of my very earliest memories is the thrill I felt watching the Christopher Reeve Superman films for the first time. My goal for every issue will be to give readers that same physical reaction, and the same lofty aspirations that Superman inspires: the desire to be better than we are, and to do more than the world thinks we can do.”  Superman #29 cover by Phil Hester In “The Golden Age” part one on March 9 (Superman #29), Jonathan Kent is back from the 31st Century and fighting cosmic threats alongside his legendary father. But when an interdimensional breach opens near Earth, Jon recognizes the creatures that emerge: the cosmic leviathans that the Legion of Superheroes credit with the DEATH OF SUPERMAN! And in the new backup series “Tales of Metropolis” story in the same issue, writer Sean Lewis (DC Future State: Superman of Metropolis) and artist Sami Basri (Harley Quinn) follow Jimmy Olsen on a quest to meet of some of the city’s more colorful denizens, beginning with Bibbo Bibbowski! Then in “The Golden Age” part two on March 24 (Action Comics #1029), as Superboy desperately tries to save Superman’s life from the leviathans of the Breach, Superman discovers the Breach’s shocking origins. But with his powers mysteriously fading, he is utterly outmatched. Can Superboy change the course of history and save his father’s life? Don’t miss this prelude to DC’s MASSIVE Superman event! Plus, in another all-new backup “Tale of Metropolis” story, writers Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad (Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman) join forces with Michael Avon Oeming to continue the Midnighter story that Cloonan and Conrad started in DC Future State. But is the DC Universe ready for Trojan Industries?  Action Comics #1029 cover by Phil Hester
In the months following “The Golden Age” two-part crossover, Phillip Kennedy Johnson will continue writing both Superman and Action Comics with artists Scott Godlewski (on Superman) and Daniel Sampere (on Action Comics) before reuniting with Future State: Superman: Worlds of War co-creator Mikel Janín on a special Superman project—still to be announced! “The work I’m doing now with Phil Hester, Scott Godlewski, and Daniel Sampere is already some of my favorite of my career,” continued Johnson. “All three are wizards on the page, and the massive event that we’re building up to in Action Comics is a considerably bigger swing than I ever expected to get in comics. It’s no exaggeration to say it will change Superman’s status quo forever and have a lasting impact across the entire DC Universe. The already iconic Future State: Superman: Worlds of War artwork that you’ve seen from Mikel Janín in recent months is just the tip of the iceberg of what he and I have planned together. Stay tuned, you will NOT want to miss what’s coming.” For more information on Superman, Action Comics, and the World’s Greatest Super Heroes, be sure and check out the DC website at www.dccomics.com and follow DC on social media at @DCComics and @thedcnation.

PORTLAND, Ore. 12/17/2020 — Award winning, bestselling writer Scott Snyder (Dark Knights: Death Metal, Undiscovered Country) and bestselling writer and artist Tony S. Daniel (Batman, Deathstroke) will ensnare fans in a riptide of fear this March with new series Nocterra, out from Image Comics. The shaded world of Nocterra was first introduced through the wildly successful Kickstarter campaign which ran in October 2020 and offered backers a stab at highly collectable editions of Nocterra content including special prints, a hardcover, and behind-the-scenes process work. The campaign wrapped with hundreds of thousands raised by supporters ready and eager for the story proper to begin. Now the legendary creators promise to unveil terrors beyond any shade with the debut of an extra-length first issue to get pulses pounding. “Nocterra marks my return to solo creator owned work, and it's a book I've been dying to do for years,” said Snyder. “It mixes the horror of my indie series like Wytches and American Vampire with the high-octane stakes of my DC work to bring you something personal, twisted and big, big fun. And I couldn't ask for a better co-creator on Nocterra than buddy and superstar artist Tony Daniel. His art on this book is next level, and with the amazing Tomeu Morey on colors and Deron Bennett on letters, and Will Dennis editing, we've got an all star team steering this wild ride. So get ready for trucks, monsters and mayhem on an epic scale…” Daniel added: “Nocterra is also marking my return to creator owned comics after a lengthy stint with DC Comics. I’ve been blessed working on characters like Batman and Deathstroke and Teen Titans, mainly during my career at DC, and now I get to stretch my wings on characters that Scott and I create from scratch. Building these characters and their world, their fight for survival in this dangerous dark world, really makes Nocterra a thrilling project for us. I’ve always wanted to partner with Scott over the years, but the timing was never right, until now. I think we make a super-team who feed off of each other’s enthusiasm and creativity. Nocterra will be a pulse pounding ride for the fans and for us as well!” Ten years after the world is plunged into an everlasting night that turns all living creatures into monstrous shades, the only way to survive is to stay close to artificial light. Here Nocterra introduces Valentina “Val” Riggs, a skilled ferryman who transports people and goods along deadly unlit roads with her heavily illuminated eighteen wheeler. "Between Wytches, AD: After Death, and Undiscovered Country, Scott Snyder has been involved in some of the biggest and best Image comics of the last ten years," said Eric Stephenson, Publisher & Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics. "And with as gifted a storyteller as Tony Daniel joining him for Nocterra, it’s a safe bet he’ll be adding another hit to that list." Nocterra #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 3. Nocterra #1 will also be available for purchase across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play. ABOUT IMAGE COMICS

Missoula, MT (12/15/2020): Vault Comics is thrilled to announce WITCHBLOOD, a neon-soaked supernatural battle fantasy road trip adventure from writer Matthew Erman (Dark Crystal, Power Rangers), artist Lisa Sterle (Submerged, Modern Witch Tarot), and colorist Gab Contreras (Dead Beats, All We Ever Wanted). A modern, Wild West road trip about a witch named Yonna cruising the Southwest as a band of bloodthirsty biker vampires, The Hounds of Love, hunt her scattered coven for the source of all magic: witch blood. From the critically acclaimed creators of The Modern Witch Tarot Deck and Long Lost comes WITCHBLOOD, a blend of action, lore, and Americana—perfect for fans of Buffy and American Gods. “I am so proud and honored to get to announce WITCHBLOOD with my incredible, unbelievable creative partner, Lisa Sterle," said Erman. "It’s been nearly four years since we made our comic debut with Long Lost and it feels like we get to share everything we’ve learned creating stories for comic shelves. It’s a big step away from what we did in Long Lost, but it is still us. Vault and the Wassel Brothers have been championing Lisa and I, and we couldn’t be more proud to work with them on bringing this to life." "I am so dang excited to share WITCHBLOOD with the world," said Sterle. "After Long Lost, Matt and I didn’t know where our next idea would take us, but the world of WITCHBLOOD is so rich and thrilling and full of life and character that I feel like I could spend years working within it. To be able to share these visions of magic and mayhem, drawing inspiration from tarot, the supernatural, and the stories that we grew up loving, always feels like a dream. I’m not exaggerating when I say, this is my best work yet hands down, and I hope y’all are ready for this wild ride." WITCHBLOOD #1 hits store shelves in March 2021, and will launch with a Vault Vintage variant cover by Nathan Gooden and Tim Daniel that pays tribute to Bob Larkin's legendary cover to Dazzler #1 (1981) from Marvel Comics. |
